Chapter 37: How Could They Surrender

Although Liu Bagou said to Li Xuan many times that he would surrender to Shuilongzhai, he also said that as soon as Li Xuan's surrender edict came out, the people of Shuilongzhai would immediately kneel down and surrender happily.

But Li Xuan has always regarded Liu Bagou's words as a joke.

Because Li Xuan felt that unless the other party was defeated by his own army and had no way to retreat, it would be impossible for him to surrender on his own initiative.

After all, surrender is not just a matter of losing face or the like, but a matter of life and death, once they surrender, their grain will become the grain of Huangzhu Mountain, and without food, people will starve to death in this mountain.

Moreover, even if they were likely to surrender, Li Xuan's edict of surrender had not yet been written!

But now, the development of the situation has made Li Xuan a little confused.

So far, although the two sides have been facing each other for two days, and it can be regarded as a fight in the morning, strictly speaking, neither side has engaged in a short battle, and there has been no real battle, you know, there are no casualties on either side now.

This fight hasn't been fought yet, and the water dragon village on the opposite side is also a large number of people, so it doesn't look like there is no resistance at all.

How could they surrender in this case?

Li Xuan doesn't understand!

Not to mention Li Xuan, he has always prided himself on Zhuge Liang's reincarnation, and Liu Bagou, who thought he had a lot of schemes, was also forced by the people of Shuilongzhai.

Although Liu Bagou shouted to recruit the people of the Water Dragon Village, and also thought that it was very likely that the people of the Water Dragon Village would surrender, he also thought that if he wanted to recruit the people of the Water Dragon Village, he had to let Fang Dongquan and Butcher Chen take the people to fight with real knives and guns immediately, and play the prestige of the Tang Heavenly Soldiers, so that the Water Dragon Village could not see the hope of winning, and then go to recruit the people of the Water Dragon Village.

But now, they have not even fought, and they have raised their flags and surrendered!

But no matter how surprised Li Xuan, Liu Bagou and the others are now, it is true that the people of Shuilongzhai raised the white flag to surrender.

After the people of Shuilongzhai raised the white flag, soon one of them came out of the gate of the village and came to Fang Dong's body, saying that the people of Shuilongzhai had decided to surrender, and he came out to discuss the terms of surrender with Huangzhushan.

Fang Dongquan, who was in front, looked at this person, and for a while he didn't know whether to continue to charge, so he could only send someone to the back to ask Li Xuan's opinion.

Although Li Xuan couldn't understand why the people of Shuilongzhai surrendered for the time being, whether this surrender was fraudulent, etc., but since the other party raised the white flag, he would first see what the other party wanted to do, anyway, there would be no shortage of attacks for a while.

If they really surrendered, then hello I hello everyone, and a battle was avoided, and casualties were avoided, if the other party was trying to delay time or have some other conspiracy, as long as the other party did not immediately lay down his arms and surrender, then his offensive plan would not change.

After Li Xuan's order was passed down, someone soon brought the messenger of the Water Dragon Village.

This messenger is still an acquaintance that Li Xuan has seen, that is, the second master of Shuilongzhai, a middle-aged man who is short in height, but extremely strong and muscular.

This person came out to negotiate, naturally it was impossible to bring any weapons, and even in order to prevent them from coming to capture the king first, and play a drama of killing the enemy commander in the midst of thousands of troops, several bandits in Huang Zhushan had been following them, and let them stand at a distance of five or six meters away from Li Xuan.

As soon as the footsteps of these two people stopped, the second master of Shuilongzhai was the first to speak: "Huang Xueren of Shuilongzhai has seen the big boss!" ”

However, as soon as he said this, Liu Bagou on the side stood up with a serious face: "Bold fanatic, don't kneel down quickly in front of Your Majesty!" ”

Your Majesty?

Hearing such a nondescript title, Huang Xueren, who has been robbing homes and houses for many years, and is also well-informed, was also stunned.

In the past few months, he has also heard that Huang Zhushan has changed his head, and he heard that this new Huang Zhushan boss is a little unfamiliar, but he doesn't know that Li Xuan is actually the emperor!

This can't be blamed on him, there is no Internet these days, and there is no telephone and telegraph, the exchange of information is very closed, Huangzhushan is dozens of miles away from Shuilong Village, and there is nothing to exchange information with each other, so it is reasonable for him not to know that Li Xuan is playing the founding of the country and becoming the emperor.

But even if Huang Xueren is just a bandit with little knowledge, he also knows that this emperor is not something that anyone can stop.

After showing a hint of surprise on his face, Huang Xueren looked at Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan and the others, whose expressions were not fake, but when they looked serious, they were not stubborn, and immediately knelt down: "The grass people have seen Your Majesty!" ”

This person's obedient appearance made Li Xuan's eyebrows frown slightly, this person's previous face was obvious, with disdain in surprise, it is estimated that he also knew that his ravine emperor was a little nondescript, but he still knelt down obediently and called himself Your Majesty.

This man, if not afraid, is another trick.

And since this person dared to come out to negotiate alone, and there was no fear on his face, he was obviously not afraid of death, if it wasn't for fear, then he had another plan.

Li Xuan said: "You want to surrender?" ”

Huang Xueren said: "Back to Your Majesty, there are more than 400 people in my Shuilong Village, whether they are young or strong, old and weak, women and children, all of them were originally His Majesty's people, and they were saddled before and after His Majesty!" ”

It's not a surrender, it's a surrender, and that's something interesting.

Surrender and surrender are naturally different, if you surrender, you still surrender conditionally, it is nothing more than snatching women and food by yourself, at most killing a few more people or something, no different from ordinary looting.

But if it is a surrender, the other party makes it clear that he wants to recognize himself as the boss and mix under his own hands!

Could it be that he is too strong and domineering, so these bandits of Shuilongzhai will not fight, and they will be their subordinates as soon as they set up a position?

Or is their emperor's name too loud, and they are still the same as Fang Dongquan and Liu Bagou, who want to play their own emperor signboard, mix with a founding hero, and live a famous minister's addiction?

For a while, many thoughts came to Li Xuan's mind.

Huang Xueren at the bottom didn't hear Li Xuan's answer, he raised his head and looked, he naturally didn't know that Li Xuan had many thoughts in his mind, only to see Li Xuan calm and not speak, with a serious look.

Li Xuan didn't speak, and Liu Bagou naturally didn't speak, so the scene was dull for a while.

There were more than ten people around, but none of them spoke, and the soldiers on both sides in front of them continued to hold on to each other.

If this negotiation is not settled, then the battle will break out again, and then there will be rivers of blood!
